Garden Faire

Our family has enjoyed attending the Garden Faire at a local park for three years now.  As we have mentioned before, Ian loves anything and everything to do with trains.  Stan the Train Man built this 10-car train about 20 years ago.  He attaches the cars to his riding lawn mower, and he enjoys taking kids (and occasionally parents) on rides around the park.
This was Ryan's first experience on a train.
Ian and Daddy smile for the camera.
Ian got a little help from the workers as they shaped newspaper into a pirate hat for him.


We then took the opportunity to decorate the pirate hat with buttons, stickers, and glue-on letters.
Ian loves coloring using two or three crayons/colored pencils at one time.
Ian thoroughly enjoyed making a bird feeder by coating a pine cone with peanut butter and then sprinkling bird seed on the peanut butter.  We have hung the feeder from our front tree, and Ian continues to watch for bird activity at the feeder each day.  We enjoyed our time at the Garden Faire!
